Fly-tipping
Sometimes we have big household items which we need to replace. Quite often the replacements are second-hand, and households are left with large things which are difficult to get rid of, especially if you don't have access to a van or a trailer or something. And so sometimes they get dumped in back alleys or on the street. Fly-tipping. No one wants that.
Lowestoft Town Council has a remedy. They are funding a trial scheme 'Bulky Waste Free Collection and Disposal' service.
Added: 26 October, 2023East Suffolk Cleansing are responsible for removing litter and fly-tipping, or dumped rubbish, from public land. Public land includes roads, pavements, adopted passageways, council-owned car parks, parks and recreation areas, lay-bys, and so forth. There is no charge for this service.
Officers will clear incidents of fly-tipping on public land as soon as possible, with the majority of incidents being removed within 24 hours of reporting.
Added: 23 September, 2023Seen the result of an obvious fly-tip? Here's how to get it removed.
If it's on public land - back alleys, roadside and so on - Norse will remove it.
If it's on private land, it's up to the owner of the land to report it.
Have photos and/or map available before you start. The postcode is really helpful.
